MX Duo Question

[acebake]

I just got the MX Duo set today...very nice!

I have one question: The keyboard seems to be lagging a lot. How do I fix this?



Thank you so much!

type faster? there shouldn't be any lag

 

[acebake]

When I type, it seems like it can't keep up with me. Any way to fix this?

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

have same. dunno, sure it's not your computer?

 

[CRXican]

how close to the receiver is the keyboard?

 

[obeseotron]

I just got one too, and there is zero lag. Maybe the reciever is too far away or something is causing interference.

Try changing the channel the KB is on..I think the drivers can do that, or it is just a reconnect.

 

[zerodeefex]

when I had the mx duo, occassionally I would also have this problem. Yea, just change the channel and you will be fine.

I sometimes thought the same when I first got mine, but it seems to have changed.
Maybe putting the keyboard in secure mode somehow helped? I'm not sure.

I've tried both channels...the other one (channel 2) actually makes it worse. Any idea?

like the others said, check for interference. i have a wireless ibm keyboard and there is zero lag even when im 6 ft away from the target.

 

[acebake]

Alright I've tried both channels, moved the base station around, reinstalled drivers, and everything is the same. I may just have to return it.....

Thanks for all of the advice. Any other ideas?

you have any other wireless stuff in the vicinity? if so change that channel?? heheh jsut guessing.

 

[acebake]

I have a wireless router, that's it....but it's a pretty good distance away from it. Should I change the router's channel?

 

[acebake]

I changed the channel on the router, but it did nothing. I'm so confused....

 

[So]

You can, but I'd change the KB's channel first, and try it on another PC just to see.

Sorry for biting your thread.

My prob is with the mouse. Not lag but the pointer just does not want to move sometimes. Can mouse be defective???

Thx

If you don't move the mouse for a while (like >10 seconds) it goes to sleep. moving it again means it has to wak up and reconnect. Thus, lag.

You say you moved the base station around, but did you move it away from the monitor?

 

[acebake]

Yeah, still nothing....

 

[mooojojojo]

That sucks. How bad is the lag? I've noticed on mine that if I press a lot of random keys at the same time the keyboard needs a couple of seconds to keep up, but I've never had a problem with regular typing. Perhaps it's just you typing too fast? 🙂

nycdude - I have problems with my MX700 too. If your problem is not the described sleeping, but like it skipping the first couple of pixels, I think that's because the mouse is just too darn heavy. I'm not sure why people like it so much!
